Connector plug with permanently connected cable

Abstract

A connector plug with a permanently connected cable, provided with a housing consisting of two shells in which transverse partitions comprising cut-outs are provided for strain relief of the cable. The cable can be forced into these cut-outs which are staggered with respect to each other such that the cable is curved.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A connector plug with permanently connected cable, comprising an elongate housing which has an opening on one end for the passage of the cable and at least two openings on the opposite end wherethrough contact pins project or wherethrough contact sockets are accessible, the said housing consisting of two shells which are arranged one on the other by way of their edges, characterized in that for the strain relief of the cable (17) at least three transverse partitions (21) are provided in one of the shells (1), each partition comprising a cut-out (23) which opens into its free side and which includes a lower portion (25) having parallel sides near its closed end, the depth thereof being larger than and the width thereof being smaller than the largest and the smallest, respectively, transverse dimension of the cable (17), the said cut-outs (23) being positioned such that cut-outs (23) which are situated directly one behind the other are staggered in the transverse direction with respect to each other. 
     
     
       2. A connector plug as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the transverse partitions (21) project above the edge of the shell (1) so far that they extend substantially as far as the bottom of the other shell (20). 
     
     
       3. A connector plug as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the cut-out (23) gradually widens from the portion (25) having parallel sides in the direction of the open end.
